 Album recording, across nine months in 1992, began in Calabasas, California, in Dre's house—which, midway, burned down—and finished in Hollywood at Galaxy Sound, owned by SOLAR Records' Dick Griffey.Its audio console was advanced, but its neighborhood was decayed, and in April beset by the LA riots.This song was, in the end, as its guest rapper Kurupt prides, "one of the most hard-hitting songs on "The Chronic"."
